rOUR PERSONS POISONED.
And They Are Likely TO Die, from
Eating Canned Salmon.

A Philadelphia special says: An inno-
cent.loOking little eighteen-cent can OF
California salmon to-day poisoned four per-
sons belonging to one family, threw them
into commissions. and may be the cause OF
four deaths. The family afflicted, is that OF
Alfred S. Stauts, who lives at 210G Hull
street. Richmond. The family is COM
posed OF Mr.. Stauts, his wife, Mary,
Two sons, Frank and James, aged. repect-
lively, eight and four years; daughter,
Mamie, aged ten years, and Mr..
Sauts's sister Ella. twenty-fOur years OF
age. Mis- Ella StautS, who has been IN Ill
health for some time, thought a can OF
salmon might prove to be good appetizer,
and last Saturday bought OF George Hess, a
grocer at Amber aud Hull streets, an
eighteen.cent can OF the article. This
morning Miss Stauts thought OF the fish,
and II was placed on the table for breakfast.
Alfred Stauis never eats canned fish, aud
his wife refused 10 partake because 1t was
lloated so much in alleged olive oil. Mr..
Stauis's sIsier and the three children, who
are exceedingly fond OF fish, ate all the can
contained. Immediately after the meal
Mamie and Frank started out with their
books for school and Mr.. Stauts To his
work. They had not been away from the
house more than an hour before the little
four.year. old James began to complain OF
not feeling well. In five minutes more he
was attacked with violent and painful
retching, and In bali an hour The little fel-
low was in commissions. Miss Stauts, who
was assisting the mother In caring for the
four.year.old, then complained OF sickness.
She retired to her room, and was soon in
commissions. Neighbors were sent for, and
In a short time physicians were giving the
two sufferers emetics.
An examination was made and the medi.
cal men decided that the sickness was caused
by the salmon.eating. II was then decided
10 send for the two children al school to see
II they bad been attacked in similar man.
ner. Before reaching the school-house
frankie, the little eight-yesr-old, was found
coming towards home, groping his way
along In dazed manner. He said he was
I'll, and before reaching home became un-
conscious. Mamie had also started home
from school, suffering with pains, aud
when she was brought In carriage to the
neat little house on Hull street she, too,
was vomiting and In conyulsons. The
three physicians labored steadily on the
four patients all day, but nothing could be
done 10 allay the pain and vomiting. The
little children are likely 10 die.

How Government Omcini Pre-
served ii for Private Specu-
IatiOn.

A Washington special says: The an
nouncement that the head OF Charles j.
Cujteau, the assassin Of President Garfield,
is in the possession Of a New York physi.
cian causes little surprise here, for 1t has
bes n known by many In this city that when
tho flesh was removed from the skull in the
nrocess OF articulating the skeleton the
United States anatomist, Or. Schafhirt, pre-
served the same. He was careful to retain
In the flesh in all their Daluralness the fea.
tures OF The assassin. TO effect this end he
denuded the skull with as little cutting as
possible, sewed the parts together with
stitches almost invisible and stuffed the sub
iect with materials that supplied TO perfec-
tion the place OF the missing bone frame.
When that branch OF his work was com.
Melted he placed the head IN bath OF alc0-
hol in a white glass jar about eight inches
i'm diameter by twelve inches in length,
which was Theoretically sealed. Enough
OF the flesh was left TO show the mark OF
the rope that strangled the assassin. For
MANY months the doctors had on exhibition
for the qualification OF curious friends the
CHASTITY spectacle, and it was the general
remark OF those who saw his head in DR..
SchalhITts private Operating-room in the
Medical Museum that the head swimming
in the jar OF alcohol looked as lifelike as
the day the moose launched Guiteau into
eternity.
There is no question about the officials OF
the National Medical Museum being aware
what Schafhirt b I'd done in this matter and
OF his having used Government materials
and time in carving out bis object. A ma
jority Of the clerks and officers OF that
branch OF the Surgeon-Genera'so office were
interested spectators OF the Doctors work
while it was being completed.

4 SCOUNDREL CAUGHT
After Subjecting u Young Lady TO
Ritter Persecution.

A YOUNGSTOWN (O.) special says: Officers
are engaged here in securing evidence
showing the most despicable conduct on
the part OF young man. The victim Is
Miss Jessie White, of Joliet, Ill.,. niece OF
Hiram Park, Of this city. Miss White Is
an educated young lady, just past her
seventeenth year, and is well known here.
Last October the young man began his
persecution by having an announcement
Of the death OF Miss White published
i'm a paper, and at the same time be posted
\ letter to an undertaken, purporting to be
sipned bv Mrs. j. :. White, stating that
her daughter was dead, and requesting
that coffin and carriages be furnished for
a funeral. The same day several young
men, WHO were known 10 De warm personal
friends OF Miss White. received letters re-
qICsting them to act as pall-bearers. The
letters were written on pink-tinted note
paper and enclosed in envelopes OF the
sane color. The note received by the
undertaken was a follows:
"Dear Sir,-l am Obliged to notify YOU
Of tie death OF our beloved daughter Jes.
sic, which was due to heari.dlSeaSe. wish
YOU to lurI i>h the funeral neccSsarles. The
measure Of the casket is five by two. |
want the casket to be white lined and very
stvii,h. Plea-e bring some robes, 30 can
select one. Yours respectfully.
Mrs. j. ;. WHITE"
A dav or two later the undertaken re-
ceiyed the following note:
Il have now laid my plans 50 that the
" bite family will have to grieve the death
Of theIr daughter Jessie. Itseems as though
she wanted to live in single ble>sedness, for
no strange man can win smile from her,
and she passes along the street without
looking at me. This clty is too quiet, and
needs murder case 10 make excitement.
II i ALWAYS catching before hanging"
Since then notes have been slipped under
| tle door OF her residence, thrown in the
vsrd, and sent 70 her through the malls
| an int,matng that the writer intends to
| Kill her on sight. One morning the family
| found a large piece OF Grape tied Oh the
| door.kuoh. Mr.. Park has large number
| of the letters in his possession, the writer
! evidently intending if possible to frigbten
! Miss White into insanity. Officers were
! placed in charge OF the case. and are keep
| inc theTesidencc OF Miss White under sur
vdllauce. Mr.. Park has received a message
stating that the alleged writer Of the letters
had been arrested. His name Is ID. {.
White, and he is cousin OF the young lady
| who has been the subject OF his persecu-
ton, He was found lettering around her
residence, and when arrested said: 81
dicn't write those letters, and you can't
prove it," On searching his room note
paper was found corresponding to that on
| which the letters were written. He was
nlaced under bonds 10 await hearing, aud
Mr.. Park left for Joliet to-day TO look after

Members Of Lee Camp, Confederate Vete-
rams, who visited Boston are enthusiastic
in their praise Of the manner in which they
were received and entertained In that city.
Never were men made to feel more per-
feciiy at home than were the Nirginians
during their brief stay In the Bay State.
The hospitality extended tnem was not con-
fined to the Grand Army post whose spe-
cial guests the members Of Lee Camp were,
but the people generally OF the Hub and the
surrounding country united in turning tue
Gown, together with several large suburbs,
over TO the visitors. Nor Is that all. The
Lee-Camp men are unanimous in testi-
tying that the magnIficenee and lavl'huess
Of the hospitality o. the occasion were only
exceeded by its sincerity and warm. heart
